Great Pub with stunning views over Backstairs Passage. There is an outdoor area if the weather is good and you can have a meal or just a drink. The menu is reasonably priced and it is child friendly. The "Posh Fish & Chips" is definitely worth having.

Not just a Cellar Door, Dudley has a good range of food as well as coffee & cake. The view over the water is exceptional and if you are keen you can hit a few golf balls over the valley. There is a kids play area and on certain weekends live music.

Take away or eat in seafood, locally sourced. The Oysters are harvested from the water in front and couldn't be any fresher. If taking away they have great trays and their own Kilpatrick sauce.

Great winery with light lunches available. Really good area for children that is safe for playing. Parents can easily see the children from the large covered deck area, making it a lot more relaxing for everyone.

Fantastic opportunity to see koalas in their natural habitat. You can get close enough to take great photos and observe them doing what they do - eat, sleep, choose a better tree, see off other koalas in their "space".

Sightseeing
Stunning vista of the Southern Ocean. You can view from above the beach, or if adventurous climb down the steps. It is quite a dangerous area for swimming and only very experienced swimmers or surfers should venture out. There is also good beach fishing off the rocks.
